Description: | A copper alloy possible book fitting of probable late medieval/ early post-medieval date (c.1400-1600). The object is shield-shaped and is formed of a sheet of metal moulded or stamped to produce a large rounded, convex boss with the edges cut to form the shield shape. The boss is hollow to the reverse. An attachment hole of 2.5mm diameter is situated in each of the three corners of the shield, with the lower hole being slightly open due to damage. The object is 26.2mm long, 22.2mm wide and measures 8.3mm in profile, although the metal sheet is only c.1.2mm thick. It weighs 3.34g. The metal has an even dark green patina.
